Not Just An Ordinary Day

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on January 9, 2012

Hello there! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to my RSS feed for updates. Come back soon!

Today was an ordinary Monday. Early morning. Rushing to head off for school on time. Readjusting to the weekly routine.

And then a forced breath and a soft whisper — Slow down.

Snuggles. First words. Story time on the floor by the fire. Bounces on the trampoline. Time out to watch our favorite Disney movie. Moments like these make me smile.

Reaching for big brother in the school yard. Running through the house looking for big sister. Sweeping up a pile of soft blond fluff. Moments like these make my heart swell.

No, today was not just an ordinary day. It was a beautiful day with my babies.
